location on lake; fire-pit; comfortable bed; well-stocked kitchen. - It smelled: musty/mothballs. We tried to air it out, smell lingered.Acrid odor in LR cabinet. Contents eaten, mouse droppings inside, strong stench. Drawer above had droppings too. Texted owner re: droppings/smell; toaster oven broken; showerhead leaked. Rodents ate cookies we brought with us too. Told her don’t worry about shower. She came over next day, brought new toaster, cleaned out btm cabinet. Smelled better. Drawer over cab still had rodent feces in it. She vacuumed it out, getting some droppings. Why leave drawer with droppings still in it? Claimed she couldn’t smell anything.We bought sprays to mask musty/MothBall(MB) odors & let her know. Stench strong on drapes near our BR door. We sprayed often. Found small pkg. on BR floor. Smelled strongly of MBs, so we tossed them. Assuming MBs, from odor, we texted owner & informed how dangerous MBs are, told her I had headaches when in cottage & they lessened when “MB-smelling pkt.” was gone. Texts went back & forth & crossed. She claimed pkt. was made of oils which repels pests. Didn’t help repel rodents here. We believed her assertion, but reading reviews of product’s link she sent (Motrapso rodent repellent on Amzn) many buyers said pkt. smelled of MBs, giving them headaches. Why put that in cottage? Told her we were not after reparations-just make better for next ppl. We kept pics & texts. Never got message from owner showing empathy/saying sorry.
